My friends and I had a lovely stay! The house was adorable and in a great location. We appreciate the host's thoughtful recommendations and information about the area. I will definitely return!
The property is an older cottage, but exactly what we were expecting. I stayed with my sister and 90-year old father, and we enjoyed the beach and several local restaurants. The kitchen was well equipped, and the house was neat and clean. The only issue we had was that the weather was quite hot, and the air conditioner in the house struggled to keep the bedrooms cool. Aside from that, our stay was great.
Cottage was clean, owners were very responsive to our communications, owners gave us good tips on local restaurants and shopping, convenient location in close proximity to the water
All went well and enjoyed our stay . Husband had back surgery x 2 in past year. The areas of raised flooring in house were a concern /trip hazard.
Neighbors very friendly, nice community đ
The cottage was the perfect spot for my nephewâs wedding in Westbrook, and some beach time in-between. Coral Sands beach was really great and a short walk. Dave was very responsive and answered our questions quickly. We would stay again if ever down that way.
Just as advertised, quaint cottage with open floorplan, beachy decor and short walk to shore. Communication was fast thru the VRBO app. The deck umbrella needed repair and owner was quick to respond and replace. Having a full kitchen, charcoal grill, washer and dryer and 3 bedrooms so close to shore (0.1m) makes this property a hidden gem! Three window fans and 2 oscillating fans allowed for plenty of air circulation while we vacationed last week of Aug. As Elks members we frequented the lodge close-by for lunch and dinner, as well as Billâs Seafood, Lobster Landing and Shanks. I hope the owners rent it out next year as we cannot wait to come back!
We had a great weekend with the beach a stone throw away!! Our 10 year old daughter and 13 year old son had there own little rooms in this quaint beach house. We were able to walk to most places and had less than a 2 mile drive to anything that was a little too far to walk to. Donna and David are great hosts, the beach is great, and the neighborhood is friendly. We had a well needed wonderful weekend.
Made the most of a dated, well apportioned cottage
We knew there wouldn't be air conditioning and misjudged how hot that meant the cottage would be at night even with fans blowing. The sink, toilet, and shower were all dated and could use an update to make the place nicer. How about a spare roll of toilet paper? And no spare tissue box or paper towel. These little details matter. The cottage was clean and well apportioned. Not a great choice for the middle of summer given the lack of A/C. Knowing guests would use the fans, could the fans have been cleaned up? They were full of dust and looked like they haven't been used for years. Location was great and the neighborhood was quiet. Compared to the other high-end hotels in the area, this was a good deal. Communication with the owners was easy and fast.
The day we were suppose to check in the owner calls to tell us that he has to reimburse our money and cancel our reservation due to electrical issue. He was so rude and did not care how inconvenient it was to cancel at the last minute. Also he said guess left a note there was an electrical issue at 11am. We were suppose to check in at 3pm. Cleaning practice states there is a 24 hour vacancy between guess. Thats a lie and inconsiderate. When voicing my concerns he hung up the phone in my face. So unprofessional, unpleasant and disrespectful!!!!!!
If you want to relax on your vacation, this is the spot! The beach is steps away from the cottage and the neighborhood is clean and very family oriented. Many great restaurants in Westbrook and the surrounding Shoreline towns.
